A is for Abstract, for which love comes along
When life is full of surprises, only abstract love can belong
B is for Balance, into the chaos love brings
Tune out noises to hear the notes love sings
Where C is for Constant, love must be
When everything is still, quiet as the midnight sea
D is for Dormant, our love has now become
The way fates divide and have destroyed some
E is for Eclipse, the little moments when souls meet
True love, they claim, but now, where is it?
F is for Fault, the fracture brought alive
When mistakes are exposed to light, in oceans I dive
G is for Game, the elaborate one we like to play
Once you tell the truth, now in your words I sway
H is for Home, the way love once was
It can be for Honesty, now that there's no trust
I is for Idiot, so much I believed the blatant lies
Why did I never see it that you're just pulling my ties?
J is for Juvenile, why do I think you still love me
How could I forgive you just after a cup of coffee?
K is for Knife, a weapon used to slit foolish hearts
Or maybe it was to break people away, and apart
L is for Lemons, the pieces life gives so freely
Ha! Maybe I'll have an infinite stash once it's done with me
M is for Malady, how heartbreak is as common as grass
It's a sickness, tearing voices in definite crass
N is for Nonsense, love is forever, really?
If so, then why was I left alone in the query?
O is for Option, the fact that I am one
Never the first, just the final piece after everyone's done
P is for Promises, things meant to be broken
What happened to it? Useless, hurtful, utterly forgotten
Q is for Question, I asked you, "How could you?"
All you answered? "My choice. My rightful view."
R is for Regret, I should have never loved so dearly
I should have never let love consume me completely
S is for Salvation, the love given never offered
It's fine, though, I just hope the fakes have covered
T is for Terrifying, how love is able to change somebody
Before, they look like angels, now look at the misery
U is for Uncomprehending, the mind is after
When love lost and love dies, it's all meaningless later
V is for Victory, when cheaters succeed in the final lap
You make it a hobby so you could earn every clap
W is for Weight, love and pain are hard to bear
And where were you? Gone, disappeared out there
X is for Xylophone, an instrument much like my soul
Hit it hard and I will turn it to a song
Y is for Yearn, search for the love you deserve
Don't hurry, someday, you'll find the right curve
Z is for Zeal, push for the things that matter
Fight your way out, face tomorrow, braver and better

I remember writing this in my dad's faculty office as I wait for him so we can go home together. My dad is a professor at a university and I attended the last two years of highschool at that university. I was bored as I was waiting for him, surrounded by professors who are all busy. So I wrote this poem.

How about you, what do you think of this poem? Comment below. :)
